It is with great pleasure that I invite you to the 3rd African Public Libraries Summit which will be held in Durban, South Africa from 3rd – 4th July, 2018.

The theme of the conference is DRIVING DEVELOPMENT: AFRICAN PUBLIC LIBRARIES DELIVERING ON THE DEVELOPMENT AGENDA​.

The conference activities include Paper presentations, Ignite Talks, Discussions, Poster sessions, Panel discussions, Unconference sessions and Market Place of Ideas. The details and all other information and updates can be read on the AfLIA website, www.aflia.net. We expect several colleagues in the profession to attend to engage the issues involved in innovative library services. Your participation in the discussions will
therefore be most valuable.

Please contact the South African Embassy in your country about the visa requirements and please apply early, not later than a month prior to the conference date.
We expect many participants so I have used my electronic signature for this Letter of Invitation. I therefore appeal to the South African Embassy / Consulate to honour this invitation letter written on the letter headed paper of AfLIA as a valid document from the African Library and Information Associations and Institutions (AfLIA).

I look forward to welcoming you to the conference and to seeing you in Durban, South Africa!

Yours sincerely
